Hopefully a quick question. I didn't see it come up in search, so hopefully not a duplicate question.

We are doing a split stay (DVC) - Got our first set of Magic Bands today. Our second set comes in a few days.

My question is this.

Since both sets are tied to the same Reservations in MDE, will both sets work for us? Meaning will either set open both resorts and have our tickets/fast passes?

Or will it be date based?

Thanks!

Both bands will work for both reservations.

Just did this last week and can confirm that magicbands worked interchangeably at both resorts. We had no issues with them.

We are staying one night at POP before moving over to AOA for our package. I am trying to just customize one set of Magic Bands, but I bet I will still end up getting two sets. What a waste
They CM on the phone said they will be able to link the first set to both reservations once we check in so that is my plan...

The CM at check-in doesn't need to do anything; both bands will already be able to be used for both reservations. Both reservations are in your MDE account and both bands will already be able to access everything in your MDE account.

Yep, you can use them both, along with any old ones (if they are very old they may need to be reactivated).

Thanks everyone! That was what I was hoping for, since they are all tied to the same MDE reservations!
